Bushido literature

I thought that the Bushido page was far too long, and disjointed due to the literary references. As a means of perhaps simplifying the Bushido page, whilst allowing more scope for discussion of the literature, it would be better to separate the two. I have basically copied the earlier sections from the Bushido page, and will gradually migrate them over when I have time. Note: nothing is lost here, and they are direct copies.--OzzieB 09:48, 29 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hagakure

No mention of the Hagakure/Book of the Samurai? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.237.169.205 (talk) 03:37, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should be Deleted

These are all texts about warriors in Japan, but none of them mentions "Bushido." Seems strange that in 1500 years of Bushido literature, they never used the word Bushido. Of course the answer is that there was no "Bushido literature" before the 20th century. So why does this page exist?

Edit: It also appears that this article is merely a summary of William Scott Wilson's "Ideals of the Samurai." Which in addition being intellectually suspect, makes it also a blatant act of plagiary.
